The Sofa

“… He brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living, and He revives the earth after its death. And even so will you be brought forth. He it is who produces creation, then reproduces it again, and it is easier for him in your under- standing…”

Qur’an, Rum 19-27

“… Destruction leads to very rough road but it also breeds cre- ation…”

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication

I was inspired of this passage when I was once reading Qur’an dur- ing the project. I think all divine sources -from Hinduism doctrines to Kabala scripts- have invaluable explanations combining rationality with faith. It’s just sung by Anthony Kiedis as well; the mystery of life sometimes not hidden by any wise channel. We just need to get out of the box and listen to what is ‘meant’ to say without its dog- matic aspect.

This passage made me think of ‘Transformations’ which we can see everywhere in the nature and apply into everyday objects metaphori- cally.
